The Original Animal House

At this year’s
annual Zoo Ball, sponsored by American Airlines, we’re not taking you to a
Caribbean paradise or an exotic Middle Eastern bazaar. We’re re bringing you
back home to the Milwaukee County Zoo. It’s going to be an Animal House Party
at the Zoological Society of Milwaukee’s (ZSM) annual Zoo Ball fundraiser on June 25. In the past, cocktails and the
auction were held in the pathway between the Flamingo Patio and Peck Welcome
Center. This year those events move deeper within the Zoo park, bringing you
closer to the animals. Chairing this year’s event are John and Tricia Shinners
of Pewaukee, Wis., and Rob and Brookellen Teuber of Waukesha, Wis. Tricia and
Brookellen are members of the ZSM’s Associate Board, the fundraising arm of the
ZSM. Now in its 29th year, this black-tie event has raised more than
$7.6 million for the non-profit ZSM, including $392,000 in 2011.
